Sony and the Consumer Product Safety Commission have issued a voluntary recall on a number of Sony adapters because they could cause electric shock. Users who bought a Sony computer between 2005 and 2009 could be at risk. The voluntary recall is issued on Sony’s VGP-AC19V17 AC adapter model. This model has been shipped with a number of Sony products including the following:
# All-in-one VAIO desktops of the VGC-LT series and VGC-JS2 series
# VAIO Docking Stations of the VGP-PRBX1 and VGP-PRFE1 series
Sources state that about 69,000 adapters sold between September 2005 and October 2009 will be recalled. Sony has also asked users to immediately stop using the recalled adapters.
